The fast evolution of information and communication technology (ICT) and their progressive inclusion in school education is a widespread reality. The AR (Augmented Reality) technology is part of them. This one is considerate as a valid alternative of VR ...

In this study, we propose the use of mixed reality (MR) for the purposes of biological education. Our objective is to create an interactive edutainment MR framework for users to learn about nature and human beings. MtsuDomoe, an interactive ecosystem ...

Presentation of the Empty Room project, dedicated to the exploration of new composition and spatialization methods in virtual 3D spaces, in multiplayer situation or not (Second life, OpenSim, Unity 3D) using latest video games and virtual reality ...

This project "Real Baby - Real Family" is a project aimed at expressing love and family ties utilizing Virtual Reality system (VR). In this paper, we described the version presented at the International collegiate Virtual Reality Contest (IVRC 2016). It ...

The potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to support a transformation of the processes of design and construction has been evident in the construction industry. A current BIM topic that requires attention is the integration of BIM with ...

This paper propose a simple and user friendly method for aligning an Indirect Augmented Reality application with the real world. Augmented Reality is often considered an innovative platform for conveying cultural heritage, as well as for many other ...

Visual storytelling is an integral part of the experience in media such as comic books, movies, video games and virtual reality. The grammar of storytelling that has been explored abundantly in virtual reality has close relationship with that of video ...

A real-time augmented reality system is built to replace the background of the user's room (the 'observer room' or 'local room') with a 360-degree live video of another room (the 'remote room'). The user can see the merged room captured by an RGBD ...

Faceteq prototype v.05 is a wearable technology for measuring facial expressions and biometric responses for experimental studies in Virtual Reality. Developed by Emteq Ltd laboratory, Faceteq can enable new avenues for virtual reality research through ...

The abstract nature of program code structures is inherently challenging to visualize. As virtual reality (VR) hardware and software become mainstream, VR visualization of program code structures becomes feasible. This application paper describes and ...

How to design new forms of on line behavioural and emotional interactions in digital spaces, shared virtual environments? What are the perceptual, behavioural and cognitive processes involved when actions, emotions or information are shared between ...

Superhuman Sports, based on human-machine integration technology, aims not only to approach sports from various angles including augmented sports games, expanded sports spectating and developing new ways of player training, but also aims at "Sports ...

Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) affects many amputees and many conventional treatment methods have been proven unreliable. This paper describes the implementation of a PLP treatment system for upper-limb amputees, using Virtual Reality (VR) to create an ...

This paper describes the implementation of two virtual reality (VR) games based on the traditional mirror box therapy (MBT) for lower limb amputees. The games are displayed in VR using a head mounted display (HMD) and two motion controllers attached to ...

We designed and implemented a tool that makes it possible for children to create haptic content using sensors, and tactile sensation. We developed TECHTILE Bits and confirmed that children can understand and create haptic content using TECHTILE Bits. ...

The purpose of this study was to make the appreciation in the museum that visitors understood precious cultural artifacts more deeply. We designed an embodied appreciation system called MeLight that allows various visitors including children to actively ...

Real-time 3D interaction with augmented reality environments is one of the main features of any AR system. However, selecting and manipulating distal 3D virtual objects in AR still suffer from lack of accuracy and precision. In this paper, we propose an ...

In this paper is presented a Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) application which makes possible the reviving of a demolished Reformed church from Braşov city by co-locating visual information in the location of the user. The advantage of the presented AR ...

A wheelchair is often caught as a tool for substitution to walk and to move; however in recent years, another type of wheelchair superior in design to fascinate onlookers appears. Following and pushing forward this tendency, we aim to create a ...

We designed an interactive system to assist motor rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke. This work is based on an iterative design methodology centered on the users (patients and therapists). Our prototype makes it possible to carry out a ...

Virtual Reality (VR) technology is regularly applied in education as a complement to three-dimensional (3D) models, leading to better communication between teachers and students. In a construction environment, the user visualizes a virtual world that is ...

This short paper details an approach to simulate liquids inside a mesh with an approximate but fast method. Only height is computed, and is used for rendering. One of the benefits of our approach is that height is obtained in a continuous way, by ...

Engaging users for co-creating alternative solutions and usage scenarios is, as revealed in previous studies, not so obvious. Very often, it necessitates expensive high-tech resources, such as a CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment), for setting-up ...
